I need to tune my 1990 300zx it's N/A any tips on giving me a little more power that don't cost a lot of money. dont bother telling me put the turbos on it I have them plans just no money, I'm thinking more ling throttle body spacers, that they cant have or I just can not find. Any thing that I can try and fine tune (im new to the car) Please help

Get rid of the old nasty stock exhaust. It is restricting and weighs a lot. You can get a custom exhaust at an exhaust shop for pretty cheap. Test pipes also help a lot and they are under $200.
Random but, did you do an engine swap? Well, how many miles do you have on the engine? I was gonna buy a Nissan 300zx with 165k miles, but didn't buy it b/c it has too many miles on it to race.
worst vid i have ever watched my friends z puts out 400whp with the jim wolf turbo upgrade and it seems to be alot quicker than that shit..nissans..LOL
No detonation. I have a real good tune on it. We pushed up to 19~ psi on pump. and got 22psi on race, but can't go much higher than that, all the internals are stock on the engine.
@surf1punk Have you considered running methanol injection? You could run the 20psi all day if you get a good set up. Not sure if you heard of him, but theres a guy on here, Big Phil(turbo280z) that has a 280Z with a 280ZX turbo engine that was pushing like 390hp or somethin on stock internals on 25psi with 100% meth injection. Just a though if you haven't considered it yet, I know this vid is pretty old....
In the video they were Pirelli Pzero Nero 275's, I know have Sumitomo HTR Z III. I think I like the sumi's better, especially since they are $40 cheaper a tire.
yeah i take that back..the RB25 doesn't suck..but if you have the money, might as well go with the RB26..yeah..a lot of people do that swap, rb25 in a 240..i would do it..but i wouldnt do it in a Z32..kind of weird in my opinion
You know, that is a really nice car. i'm a fan of all Z's.... And if you listen to my RB25DETT compared to this one it sounds the same. I got my video up on here. But there is one thing i greatly noticed a difference... and thats the torque. The RB series seems to have a bit better bottom end than the VGs... But yea man, nice car. Come check my 87 Out...
Awesome! Reason being is I have a set from a couple s14 SR20DET swaps that we done a while back and am getting ready to throw them on a motor I am building. Its nice to have an idea of what they are going to be like after watching this video. I was somewhat worried about spoolup but it doesn't look much worse than stock if any.
best z nissan ever made, its a shame they dont make them anymore D:

Did you have detonation at 18psi with 93 gas? With 110 you should have been able to run 24+psi :D

90-96 had the TT option, no single turbos were made in those years. the 80's 300zx had the single turbo.

I make 18psi at about 4500, stock I used to make 15psi at 3500. So there is a little bit more lag, but the top end greatly makes up for it.
